How to Get User’s Current Location Address in Flutter — Geolocator & Geocoding

In today’s mobile applications, location-based services are one of the most important and powerful features. If you look at the most popular apps, they all use the user’s location services to do certain things, such as recommending nearby places, localizing mobile advertising, contextualizing learning and research, and so on.

Geolocation and reverse geocoding are the two processes for determining a user’s current physical location.
